How the Grost Money Kings Acquired
and Control Their Vast wealth..
In the new book on the Rothschild
family is the story of Nathan Meyer
the founder of the English
firm, and the most remarkable of all
Mayer Amsohell's sons. A born specula-
tor, he found himself in the midst of an
incessant whirlpool of gambling and
speculation, from which none but one
possessing, as he did, cool head and q
shrewd intellect, could have emerged
with flying colors. The sudden return
of Napoleon from Elba shattered all his
golden dreams, and SO filed him with
anxiety that he proceeded to Belgium
and followed close in the wake of the
English army. AS appears from the fol-.
lowing extract, the battle of Waterloo
was watched by him most anxiously:
when at length the Duke of Yelling
ton took up his position at Waterloo,
Nathan Meyer felt that the critical mo-
ment on which hung the fortunes, not
of Europe alone, but of the Rothschilds,
also had arrived. When Napoleon's old
guard were driven back by the British
bayonet in the greatest confusion and
disorder, Nathan Meyer, who was on the
battlefield, spurred his horse back to
Brussels,
Having made his way TO England as
fast as post horses could carry him, and
in spite o. tempestuous sea which ne
ceesitated his offering 2,000,to fisher
men as bribe to take him across, he
was next day to be seen leaning against
his we'll known pillar on the stock ex-
change, apparently broken in health and
spirits, and looking as IL he had been
overwhelmed and crushed by some dire
ful calamity. The greatest gloom and
despondency had for days prevailed in
the city, and as men looked at Roths-
child and then significantly at each
other, they seemed to come to the con-
ciusion that the worst was yet to be
known. y The gloom and de-
spondepcy was not lessened when q
sumor became current that Rothsohild
had told friend in confidence that
Blucher, with his $4,000 Prussians, had
been defeated on June l6 and IL, at
Ligny, and that Wellington could not
hope to errest Napoleons victorious
forces Y i The funds dropped rap.

sudden wild reaction set in. 1T wat
every where reported that Wellington
was victorious. Nathan Meyer himeelf
had been the trst to announce the
good news. The funds rose again

agents had bought up seoretly every
piece OF scrip they could secure. Eel

| This policy OF secrecy and OF conceal
ment has been leading tradition Of the
English firm OF Rothschild, says Londor
Truth. The late Baron Lionel used tS
'scover up his tracks good deal by os
tentatious selling through his know
brokers while buying through others ane
vice versa. But the present generation

the policy OF tricking others, which il
